tv   Jimmy Kimmel Live  ABC  September 23, 2015 11:35pm-12:37am EDT

11:35 pm
tomorrow and now abc's "jimmy kimmel live." >> dicky: from hollywood, it's "jimmy kimmel live"! tonight, don johnson, james taylor, and celebrities read "mean tweets" live, with cleto and the cletones. and now, when all else fails, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ]
11:36 pm
>> jimmy: thanks, everybody. i'm jimmy, i'm the host of the show. glad you're watching. thanks to all of you for coming. thank you for joining us on what is the first day of autumn. i tell you, i love ought tell in la. the leaves are the same as usual. the air is the same as usual. people wear the same clothes as usual. it was 86 degrees here today. the only way to tell what season it is in l.a. is by which flavored syrup starbucks is adding to their coffee. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] if it's pumpkin spice you know summer must be done. the change of seasons is a big time of the year for our nation's weather forecasters. last night, a weatherman from the local nbc affiliate in charlotte, north carolina, i have to say he really nailed it. so much so he earned this week's "award for excellence in reporting." >> and it's the first day of fall tomorrow.
11:37 pm
i'll show you what's coming our way and when we could see some more rain coming up tonight at 11:00 on nbc charlotte. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i feel like we all just went on an ununcomfortable date with that weatherman. fy was directing that show he would still be standing there smile. meanwhile in our nation's capital, popemean yas overshadowing everything else. pope francis is here. it's his first visit to the united states. he got in yesterday. he didn't do anything last night, they want him to rest for his hectic schedule the next few days. he did get some rest. much of it during his welcoming
11:38 pm
the white house. that's just one thing about being pope is nobody knows when you're sleeping or when you're praying. and -- and -- nothing. still nothing. oh, wait, i think -- can we rewind that and zoom in? because i think he did open his eyes there. let's see. okay, yeah. he did. he was awake. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] the man is wearing a 2,000 thread count sheet so what do you expect? the pope addressed about 11,000 people at the welcoming event. he spoke about climate change. he said it's a problem that "can no longer be left to a future generation." global warming is a very important issue for the pope
11:39 pm
wear a floor-length, love-sleeved gown to work every day and it's hot. a lot of religious conservatives are trying their best to ignore the pope's warnings about climate change while he's here. they say the pope should stick to matters of spirituality and leave the science to, well, not to the scientists because they real. leave it to the -- leave science to exxonmobil is what they're saying i think. the pope had a private meeting with president obama in the oval office and lunch at buffalo wild wings. it was a nice day. the president presented the pope with a gift. he gave him a sculpture of an ascending dove made out of metal taken from the statue of liberty and wood grown in the white house garden. and i'm sure the pope's cleaning lady is really going to like it. it's beautiful. this is very funny. chris christie, governor of new jersey, he's running for president right now. chris christie is reportedly ordered the commander of the
11:40 pm
state national guard to lose weight. [ laughter ] for real. and that is how you put the hippo in hypocrite. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] really remarkable. this brigadier general, michael cuniff, failed a fitness test in 2013. his waist side size was 43, which is 4 1/2 inches over the limit. so chris christie gave him 90 days now to slim down or ship out. i know they have different jobs but this is chris christie. okay? and this is general cuniff. and this is a bucket of fried chicken with a pile of chocolate chip cookies on top. [ cheers and applause ] chris christie had a secret lap band surgery two years ago. i don't know if he's lost anything. apparently the surgery was even a secret to his stomach. [ laughter ] he had a band put around his
11:41 pm
stomach. and that band by the way? bon jovi. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] this is a sad week for baseball fans. because yogi berra, hall of fame catcher and manager for yankees and mets, passed away yesterday, 90 years old, a great catcher and a great character. he had so many classic quotes. yogi berra is the guy who said, 90% of the game is half mental. ed he also said, it's deja vu all over again, which is a classic. probably his most famous quote was, it ain't over till it's over. he was known as much for screwing up metaphors as he was for baseball. so i can't help but feel like it makes perfect sense that this is how the associated press reported his death today. new york yankees machl catcher yogi bear has died. went to that great picnic basket in the sky.
11:42 pm
against all odds gary busey, still alive. that's right. and wreaking havoc on "dancing with the stars." last night gary busey and his partner anna trabunsky who i hope is getting paid more this year about a passe doble. >> gary and inaba. >> 5. >> you'dly ann huff. >> 5. >> bruno. >> 5. >> anything you want to say about those 5s? >> the 5s are going to go up and the 5s -- if that's as far as they can count, god bless them. >> what am i supposed to do? >> jimmy: good question. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: i don't know, run? we have an exciting show. not only for you but especially for me. don johnson is here, james

12:19 am
i think it probably still is. is this the sort of thing that you would like load some women into the car and drive by and go, oh, well, look at that! look at that! i mean, that's pretty nifty to have something like that. i've seen you many times in concert. i listen to your music almost every day, i would say. of my life. which is a strange thing. >> do you really? >> jimmy: yeah. when you go to a country where -- a nonheave english speaking country, do they know the words to your songs? >> sometimes they do. it's amazing how many people learn english by learning american and english pop songs. >> they tell you that when they meet you? >> yeah it really works that way. >> jimmy: huh. >> so yeah, they do. you know, if there are enough
12:20 am
full of tickets for, then if you've got an audience, then you have some people who know your songs. it stands to reason. so yeah, they do. particularly in italy, in ireland, in brazil. they sing really loud. they just come up with it. >> jimmy: that has got to be the greatest thing. >> it is. >> jimmy: it's one thing -- >> have you ever heard at a soccer game when the europeans -- they sing that oh ah oh ah oh ah >> jimmy: yeah. >> sounds like that but it's your song. >> jimmy: that's great. what's the strangest place you've ever played? what was the most unusual or weirdest? fill in the blank there. >> well, my family, for my birthday, my 30th birthday, took me on a sort of a surprise trip. and it wasn't till i was on the plane that i realized i wasn't
12:21 am
going to cincinnati to a tennis camp. what an absurd idea. but rather to bermuda. at the time i was in treatment for addiction. i was on methadone maintenance. in the sky i realized i'd get in trouble when we landed. because bermuda didn't allow that sort of stuff. and i had a week's worth of medication. >> jimmy: oh, wow. >> so when i landed, the customs people, they were sort of -- they took me straight to this guy who looked like -- he looked like one of papa doc duveya's secret service guy. he was razor thin. he was absolutely no affect and mirror shades and a sort of like an evil dictator's hat on, you know? but anyway. the upshot was that my medication was sent to a sort of social services place and every
12:22 am
day i'd get on my moped and do a five-mile -- a ten-mile round trip to get my methadone every day, which was humiliating and one of the reasons i finally got sober.
